1 Samuel 28:3
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in his own town of Ramah. Saul had expelled the mediums and spiritists from the land.

Dana R.
Dana R. from Paragould, AR said:
Saul being desperate He went to Samuel whom was dead to seek answers for his troubles, because of Saul disobedience the Lord looked away from him, and no longer answered him, and he also lost his kingdom to David who was highly favored by the Lord. Note the penalty for disobedience is a high cost to pay, and disobedience is also the cause of the down fall of man kind.

Lloyd S. from Trenton, ON said:
So true, Dana. Man has always tried to do things his/our own way, rather than do as God has commanded. Help us to remember, Lord, that You are sovereign and have a plan that is perfect and don't need our ideas, just our obedience.

1 Samuel 27:1
But David thought to himself, "One of these days I will be destroyed by the hand of Saul. The best thing I can do is to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will give up searching for me anywhere in Israel, and I will slip out of his hand."

Dana R. from Paragould, AR said:
David was afraid that saul would destroy him so he fled with his people, and his wives, I don't know much about his situation, but what I've experienced in my life I ran from many like saul situation only to have to face another enemy like saul for many years I ran from my addiction, but only to find that wherever I went there where the same temptations there, and one day I had to face the saul in my life, and learn how to resist those temptations, I have come to the point where those thing no longer tempt me, because now I see how much damage they have done in my life it was to hard to stop, and I have to much to loose if I look back, there is a I come to far to turn back. I've also learned that if I fail not to stay in that failure, but to learn from it, and move on, and start over the next day, and strive to do better than yesterday.

Dana, I've experienced very similar circumstances in my life. When I started concentrated on The Fathers Love scriptures and receiving healing that only He could give me then I began to walk our of that fear. Perfect love (that only comes from Godcasts out fear. When I began to realize that He livesme, I began to trust Him. Now I'm learning to trust that not all things are good, but they work out for my good cuz I love Him and I'm called according to His purpose.

Thank you Donna that meant so much to me I needed a little encouragement this morning I'm so thankful, it's this song that's says we have encourage ourselves but sometimes we need encouragement from others, and I'm so thankful God know what we need and just when we need it, you be encouraged also so many times people get caught up in their needs they forget about the other persons needs, must of my life I've been trying to make other people happy, giving love, but hardly receiving any back but know matter what this world throws at me I'ma keep on loving, but that who I'm, God is love, and we are to be as our Heavenly Father is, May God bless all who read this, and know that in moment when it feels as if no one loves you. You are loved, loved by God, and Loved by me even thou I don't know you my love is always going toward my sisters, and bothers in Christ be blessed always.

Because Saul refused to keep Gods of command he was defeated, and replaced with a man after Gods own heart; David.
